Three Seed Flatbread Recipes

THREE-SEED FLATBREAD

Steps:

• On microwavable plate, place frozen rolls. Cover with microwavable plastic wrap; microwave on High 25 seconds. Turn rolls over; rotate plate 1/2 turn. Microwave on High 25 seconds longer to thaw.
• Spray 13x9-inch pan with cooking spray. On lightly floured surface, knead roll dough together. Pat dough in bottom of pan; brush with oil. Sprinkle with remaining ingredients.
• Cover; let rise in warm place about 40 minutes or until slightly puffy.
• Heat oven to 350°F. Bake 20 to 22 minutes or until golden brown. Cut into 12 squares.

SESAME FLATBREAD

Steps:

• Preheat a baking sheet under the broiler. Divide 1 pound refrigerated pizza dough into 4 balls; coat with olive oil and season with salt. Roll in 1/4 cup sesame seeds. Thinly stretch out the dough and broil, two at a time, on the hot baking sheet until golden, 3 minutes per side. Serve with plain Greek yogurt mixed with harissa and olive oil.

THREE-SEED BREAD

Steps:

• In bread machine pan, place all ingredients in order suggested by manufacturer. Select basic bread setting. Choose crust color and loaf size if available. Bake according to bread machine directions (check dough after 5 minutes of mixing; add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water or flour if needed).

SEEDED FLATBREADS

Steps:

• Mix the yeast with 2 tbsp warm water and sugar, and leave for a few mins. Tip the flours into a large bowl with 1 tsp salt and make a well in the centre. Pour in the yeast mixture and 500ml warm water. Mix with a wooden spoon until it comes together as a dough, then tip onto a work surface and knead for 5-10 mins until smooth and elastic - add a little extra flour if the dough is too sticky. Put the dough in an oiled bowl, cover with a tea towel and leave in a warm place to rise for 1 hr until doubled in size.
• Tip the dough onto your work surface and knock out all the air. Knead the seeds into the dough until well distributed. Divide the dough into 12 pieces, then roll out each as thinly as you can. Heat a large frying pan, cook the flatbreads for 2 mins or until bubbles appear on the surface, then flip over and cook for 2 mins more. Once all are cooked, wrap in foil and keep for up to a day. Pop in a warm oven to reheat.

TRIPLE-CHEESE FLATBREAD

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450°F. In medium bowl, stir Bisquick mix and water until stiff dough forms. Let stand 10 minutes. Place dough on surface sprinkled with Bisquick mix; gently roll in Bisquick mix to coat. Shape into a ball; knead 60 times.
• On ungreased cookie sheet, pat or roll dough into 12-inch square. Brush butter over dough. In small bowl, mix remaining ingredients; sprinkle over dough.
• Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until edges are golden brown. Serve warm.

SEEDED FLATBREAD

Steps:

• Mix bread flour, spelt flour, brown sugar, sesame seeds, quinoa, sunflower seeds, millet, oats, and flax seeds together in a bowl.
• Combine milk and oil in the bread pan of a bread machine; add flour mixture. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture; pour in yeast. Knead dough according to manufacturer's instructions.
• Turn out dough on a floured work surface. Punch down and separate into 16 pieces. Flatten into 5-inch diameter flatbreads.
• Place flatbreads on 2 baking sheets; cover with plastic wrap. Let sit in a warm place until risen, about 1 hour. Remove plastic wrap.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 15 minutes. Cool slightly; slice in half.

FLAXSEED BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 360°F/180°C.
• Grind the flaxseeds into very fine flour. Ideally, sift the flaxseed flour to make sure there are no actual "seeds".
• In a large mixing bowl, mix together the flaxseed meal, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the apple cider vinegar and water, and stir until the flaxseed meal becomes sticky and holds together in a lump, for about 30 seconds. Then use your hands to roughly form the dough into a loaf shape. (Don't over-knead the dough. Handle it as little as possible). The loaf should have a nice smooth surface.
• Place the loaf into a greased (or parchment paper-lined) loaf pan. The bread fits perfectly into a 1-pound loaf pan (8.5" x 4.5"). However, if you only have 1.5-pound loaf pan (10" x 5") - like I do - it will work just fine. (If you're working with the larger size loaf pan, form the loaf, place it into the loaf pan, but don't press it into the corners). You can also use a baking sheet lined with a piece of parchment paper. The bread holds its shape during baking really well, so the loaf pan is not necessary.
• Mist with water and sprinkle some seeds on top (I use a mix of flaxseeds, sesame seeds, and sunflower seeds). Gently press down on the seeds with your palm to make them stick better.
• Note: if you watched the video that goes with this recipe, I said that I let the bread rest, covered, for a few minutes. Well, if you're using the baking soda, you want to do the opposite. When you mix baking soda (base) with apple cider vinegar (acid), you get a chemical reaction. A product of this reaction is carbon dioxide, producing a lift in your baked goods. The reaction starts as soon as the base and the acid are mixed. So, get the bread in the oven immediately after you mix the two, before the reaction tapers off.
• Bake the bread for 60 minutes. The crust should be golden brown (if using golden flaxseeds).
• Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool inside the loaf pan for 10 minutes. Transfer the bread on a cooling rack, and let it cool completely before slicing.
• Store the flaxseed bread in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 7 days. For longer term storage, freeze in an airtight container for up to 3 months. I like to slice the bread prior to freezing, but you can freeze the whole loaf as well.

SIMPLE SESAME FLATBREADS

Steps:

• Tip the flour into a large bowl and add 1 tsp salt. Add the yogurt, 2 tbsp water and the sesame seeds, then mix to make a dough (it'll be quite wet). Flour the work surface and tip out the dough. Divide into six pieces. Working with one ball at a time, and keeping the others covered with a tea towel, roll into flatbreads about 0.5cm thick.
• Heat a large griddle or frying pan until really hot. Brush one flatbread with oil, then put in the pan, oil-side down. Cook for 2-3 mins each side until bubbles appear on the surface and the underneath is brown. Turn over and cook for another 2 mins, then transfer to a plate. Continue cooking the remaining flatbreads. Wrap them in foil and keep warm in a low oven until ready to serve, or serve at room temperature.

3-INGREDIENT VEGETABLE FLATBREAD {VEGAN & GRAIN-FREE}

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400F. Line a large (18x13) baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat. Lightly spray with nonstick cooking spray.
• Cut the broccoli into pieces. Place the broccoli pieces (crowns and stems) in a large food processor and process until very fine (about the consistency of couscous; 12 oz will yield 3 cups finely chopped). Scrape mixture into a large bowl.
• Add the chickpea flour, water, olive oil and salt to bowl with broccoli, stirring until completely combined.
• Spread batter into an even rectangle on the prepared baking sheet, smoothing the top. The batter should be 1/4-inch thick (the batter will not go all the way to the edges of the pan).
• Bake in the preheated oven for 24 to 28 minutes until light golden brown at the edges and the center is set. Transfer sheet pan to a cooling rack and cool completely.
• Invert flatbread onto a cutting board and carefully peel off paper/silpat. Cut into 12 pieces and turn pieces right side up..
